Seth Meyers recap of the past 3 weeks is a wild, chaotic ride

Mashable - Tue, 04/21/2026 - 06:59

Sometimes the news is so chaotic that you forget just how many ridiculous things have happened in a relatively short space of time.

"This is usually the part of the show where we would do our recurring segment 'A Closer Look', about all the crazy things that are happening in the news, but we just got back from a three-week break, and it turns out nothing happened. So instead we're debuting our new segment, 'Everything's Great,'" says Seth Meyers in the Late Night clip above.

"That's right, it's been a quiet three weeks, and nothing really— what's that? Oh, Iran says the Strait of Hormuz is closed again? OK. Uh, what, Iranian gunboats fired on a tanker? And, sorry, the U.S. seized an Iranian cargo ship and Iran is vowing to retaliate? Okay, but that's just the Middle East— what? Trump fired Attorney General Pam Bondi? He posted a meme of himself as Jesus, but then said he thought it was a meme of himself as a doctor? What? He said the Pope is weak on crime?"

The segment goes on like that for a solid two minutes.

The $100 Amazon gift card is an exciting extra, but the Samsung Galaxy Watch Ultra is a mighty fine upgrade on its own. This stacked timepiece boasts a very durable titanium design. It's "designed for rugged adventurers," according to our hands-on review — and offers plenty of features for those hoping to keep an eye on their health or fitness goals.

Some of these features include an activity tracker, heart rate monitor, sleep monitor, personalized running coach, dual-frequency GPS, Vascular Load monitoring, and an Energy Score, which takes into account your sleep, activity, and heart rate from the day before to see how ready you are for the day ahead.

If the Samsung Galaxy Watch Ultra sounds like the kind of smartwatch you've been hoping to buy, this is a great time to buy and score some bonus cash to spend.

The Pokémon TCG Ascended Heroes Mega Feraligatr ex Box is available to pre-order for under market value

Mashable - Tue, 04/21/2026 - 06:35

TL;DR: TCGplayer has the Pokémon TCG Mega Evolution Ascended Heroes Mega Feraligatr ex Box listed for preorder at $74.97 with shipping included. That puts it $8.58 under TCGplayer’s current $83.55 market price. The Mega Meganium ex Box and Mega Emboar ex Box are also available for $69.97 each.

  Pre-order Here

The Pokémon TCG’s incredibly popular Ascended Heroes expansion is about to get even bigger, and preorders for the upcoming ex Boxes featuring the Legends: Z-A starter Pokémon are under market price for a limited time. 

As of April 21, TCGplayer has the Pokémon TCG Mega Evolution Ascended Heroes Mega Feraligatr ex Box listed from $74.97 with shipping included. Against the trading card retailer’s own current $83.55 market price, that makes this preorder $8.58 cheaper than market value. It is also just below the product’s most recent sale of $74.99 and well under its $77.92 listed median.

A presale item out on April 24, TCGplayer currently has nine sellers for the Mega Feraligatr Box with 35 units available in total. If these sell out, you can also try your luck with Walmart’s Ascended Heroes Ex Box for $69.99. However, this appears to give you a random box between Mega Ferigator, Mega Emboar, and Mega Meganium, so beware if you’re after the promo card for a specific evolved starter.

TCGplayer will also let you buy the individual Mega Meganium ex Box for $69.97 and Mega Emboar for $69.97 — putting them just under a dollar under their own market price. 

The Pokémon TCG’s new Ascended Heroes ex Boxes will give you the same contents:

  • One promo card featuring its titular Pokémon

  • Four Pokémon TCG Ascended Heroes Booster Packs

  • One oversize lenticular promo card of its titular Pokémon

At the time of writing, Amazon’s preorders for the Ascended Heroes ex Boxes haven’t been made available. So these TCGplayer listings are currently the only place where preorders for specific boxes are readily available.

You can now preorder the six-pack Chaos Rising Booster Bundle for just under $59.50. What’s more, you can preorder the 36-pack Chaos Rising Booster Box at Walmart for $244.99 — so you’re only paying $6.81 per pack.

Lego regularly runs make and take events, providing an opportunity for participants to walk away with an exclusive build for free. We've made noise about a number of these free giveaways over the years, but nothing gets the people going like free Star Wars Lego.

Lego is once again celebrating Star Wars Day by offering an exclusive mini build for free. Visitors to select Lego Stores around the world can build and bring home a model Star Wars N-1 Starfighter for free. This event is intended for participants aged 10+ years, and the model is available on a first-come-first-serve basis, at participating locations, while supplies last.

The free model depicts the Mandalorian’s second ship with Grogu. You're obviously not getting the same level of detail as the new 1,809-piece Lego Star Wars The Mandalorian’s N-1 Starfighter, but it's a seriously fun collectible that money cannot buy. What's not to love?

The only catch is that you are limited to one build per participant. You can't just turn up and stock up.

Stephen Colbert roasts Trump for his Iran war strategy

Mashable - Tue, 04/21/2026 - 06:15

It hasn't escaped the attention of the late night hosts that Donald Trump's Iran war strategy doesn't seem to be going as planned.

Jon Stewart spent 22 minutes unpacking the president's supposed "4D chess" on the Daily Show, and Stephen Colbert makes similar comments in the Late Show clip above.

"On Thursday Israel and Lebanon agreed to a ceasefire, so on Friday Iran reopened the Strait of Hormuz — and yes, it was already open before we started the war, but I believe the real Strait of Hormuz was the friends we made along the way. I'm sorry, what's that? And I'm being told that we made no friends," Colbert says.

"Trump immediately claimed victory, posting, 'Iran has agreed to never close the Strait of Hormuz again.' And they never did — until the next day, when Iran closed the Strait of Hormuz again."

WhatsApp tests Plus subscription. But what do you actually get?

Mashable - Tue, 04/21/2026 - 06:09

WhatsApp is rolling out a paid tier for the app, but what do you actually get?

The Meta-owned messaging service is testing WhatsApp Plus, first confirmed by TechCrunch and now detailed on the company's FAQ page. Meta describes Plus as "an optional subscription that gives you access to additional premium features on WhatsApp."

SEE ALSO: Here's why you're about to see more ads on WhatsApp

Prices haven't been confirmed by Meta; I asked Meta's own AI within WhatsApp and it said a price hadn't yet been announced. Mashable also reached out to Meta for further information.

So, what are you paying for with WhatsApp Plus? The features include paid-only stickers, ringtones (yes, ringtones), themes, wallpapers, and icons — and if you personalise your theme and icons, only you can see them (the person you're messaging can't). Plus, the ability to pin 20 chats. That seems to be it so far.

Featured Video For You Is U.S. TikTok censoring its users?

If you're worried about being paywalled, WhatsApp said the app's current functionality will remain as is for non-paying users. "The WhatsApp you know and rely on remains free — simple, reliable, private messaging and calling," the FAQ page reads. "This subscription does not change your core experience, and we are committed to ensuring that WhatsApp continues to get better for everyone."

Meta's plans to test paid subscription tiers for Facebook, Instagram, and WhatsApp were confirmed in January; the company started testing Instagram Plus in March. The premium tiers simply mean more revenue for Meta. The company ended 2025 with nearly $60 billion in Q4 revenue and exceeding $200 billion for the year. In its 2025 Q4 earnings report, Meta said 3.5 billion people use a Meta app daily, an audience that's about to see a lot more AI-generated advertising in their feeds.

Soundcores latest budget headphones are finally here and impressively affordable

Mashable - Tue, 04/21/2026 - 05:50

Soundcore's Space 2 are officially available for purchase, following their announcement at Mobile World Congress last month.

The budget headphones retail for $129.99, and are available for purchase at Soundcore's website and Amazon. This is a price increase of $30 over the Space One headphones, which are available for $99.99.

I was able to spend a couple of weeks testing out the Space 2 headphones ahead of their launch — spoiler alert, they're great. If you're just looking for the basics, here's everything you need to know about the new Soundcore Space 2 headphones.

Soundcore Space 2 specs

The Soundcore Space 2 headphones come packed with plenty of features, including:

  • Battery life: 50 hours with ANC on, 70 hours with ANC off

  • Quick charge: 5 minutes of charge for four hours of playback

  • Listening modes: Noise cancellation, normal, transparency

  • Drivers: Double-layer 40mm diaphragm drivers

  • Multipoint connection: Yes, up to two devices

  • Equalizer: Eight-band custom equalizer, with 22 equalizer presets

  • Spatial audio: Yes

  • Audio codecs supported: SBC, AAC, and LDAC

  • Passive playback: Yes

  • On-ear controls: Noise cancellation button, multifunction button, power/Bluetooth button, and volume controls

  • Colors: Green, white, black

What's new with the Soundcore Space 2 headphones?

Soundcore's Space 2 headphones might be more expensive than their first-generation counterparts, but they also come packed with some upgrades.

For starters, you'll get 10 more hours of battery life with ANC, bringing the Space 2 headphones to a grand total of 50 hours of battery life. Soundcore also included a four-stage noise cancellation, which is essentially just a fancy way of saying these headphones are even better at blocking noise, especially at lower frequencies, like an airplane hum. (Yes, this does make them an enticing option for travel).

The design gets a slight upgrade as well, with a more streamlined ear cup fit than the Space One headphones that lends the headphones an overall more premium look. The Space 2 headphones also feature new colorways.

In my testing, it was hard to believe the headphones cost just $129.99 — they easily felt more akin to headphones like the Bose QuietComforts, which cost $359. While their performance doesn't quite match up (which makes sense, they're under half the cost), Soundcore certainly provides a worthwhile budget alternative that makes the gap between budget and mid-range headphones feel even smaller.

Jon Stewart spends 22 minutes mocking Trumps Iran strategy

Mashable - Tue, 04/21/2026 - 05:44

Donald Trump is well-known for his ghostwritten book The Art of the Deal, and many of his allies are claiming that the U.S president's war with Iran — and his increasingly angry posts on Truth Social — are all part of a game of "4D chess".

Jon Stewart is less sure. In the Daily Show clip above the host breaks down how the conflict has escalated so far, from Trump's threats to Iran's closure of the Strait of Hormuz.

"So that's where we've arrived at with The Art of the Deal," Stewart summarises. "Basically it's a cycle. It's a cycle of demands and threats and premature declarations of victory that allows the negotiator enough wiggle room to at almost any point claim that they've achieved exactly what they set out to do — ultimately achieving a nuclear deal that'll probably be worse than the nuclear deal Trump pulled our country out of with Iran, to start a devastating war that has killed thousands of innocent Iranians, 13 American soldiers, eroded our credibility as the leader of the free world, sabotaged the world economy, and will cost the American taxpayers, who knows, maybe trillions!"

The iPhone 17e is the sleeper hit of the latest Apple lineup. It packs the same A19 chip found in the iPhone 17, dazzles with a crisp 6.1-inch OLED, and delivers Apple Intelligence features that offer genuine upgrades from older models.

In Mashable's review of the iPhone 17e, Stan Schroeder said "The combination of having Apple's latest chip and a decent amount of storage means this phone will be relevant for at least four to five years." That's a really impressive lifespan for an affordable iPhone. And it really is affordable right now thanks to Verizon.

We're used to seeing mobile carriers offer "free deals" on leading handsets, but you're usually forced to sign up for the most expensive plan or trade-in a premium mobile to qualify. That's not the case here. Instead, you can get the Apple iPhone 17e for free from Verizon on the Welcome Unlimited tier with no trade-in. That means you can get a new iPhone and a lower monthly service bill — that's a rare win in this market.

To get the full $599 off the iPhone 17e, you'll need to commit for 36 months.

To qualify for this promotion, you must bring your phone number over from a competitor and sign up for a premium plan like Go5G Plus or the newer Experience More. These plans aren't cheap, but they do include serious perks like Netflix and Apple TV+. You're not contracted to stick around for 24 months, but if you do try to leave T-Mobile before the 24 months are up, you’ll owe the remaining balance of the phone immediately.

We liked the iPhone 17 when we reviewed it. Mashable's Stan Schroeder said "Apple's iPhone 17 is an excellent phone that matches the iPhone Pro models in many ways that matter." With this T-Mobile offer, it becomes even more tempting to make the jump to Apple's latest model.

AI audiobooks are invading Libby. Here’s how I avoid them.

Mashable - Tue, 04/21/2026 - 04:41

Like it or not, AI is everywhere. 

It was only a matter of time before the technology began showing up in the literary world. The novel Shy Girl was picked up by a major publisher last year, only to be canceled after allegations of AI-generated passages. 

Now, AI voices are getting into the mix. Libby users are discovering that AI has also infiltrated the service's audiobooks.

As pointed out by user @ems.book.shelff on TikTok, AI audiobooks have arrived on Libby, the app that connects public library card holders with their library's e-book and audiobook collections.

This isn't the first instance of AI and Libby crossing over. On Nov. 20, 2025, Libby posted an article launching its 'Inspire Me' feature, which uses large-language-model generative artificial intelligence to recommend and suggest books to users.

The 'Inspire Me' feature is easy enough to avoid, but an underlying issue on Libby is the presence of audiobooks that are narrated by AI. For dedicated audiobook listeners, losing the human touch of a real person's narration is devastating. So if you want to steer clear of AI, here's how to spot AI audiobooks in Libby.

How to spot AI audiobooks and Libby

After sharing the news that AI content is available on Libby, TikToker @ems.book.shelff also shared how to spot it within Libby. Which AI audiobooks are available will vary from library to library, so rather than provide an extensive list of AI audiobooks, you'll need to do some searching.

  • Libby app

Step 1: Search for AI voices

In the Libby app, go to the search bar and look at two specific terms: Digital Voice and Synthesized Voice. This will display all the titles that feature AI voice narration, which is commonly referred to as either a digital or synthesized voice.

Step 2: Browse through results

Once you've searched, click into individual book listings. In each book's details, the narrator will be listed. Any books that use AI will have the narrator listed as either a 'synthesized voice' or 'digital voice.' If you're looking to avoid AI, don't borrow these books.

Hurdle hints and answers for April 21, 2026

Mashable - Tue, 04/21/2026 - 00:00

If you like playing daily word games like Wordle, then Hurdle is a great game to add to your routine.

There are five rounds to the game. The first round sees you trying to guess the word, with correct, misplaced, and incorrect letters shown in each guess. If you guess the correct answer, it'll take you to the next hurdle, providing the answer to the last hurdle as your first guess. This can give you several clues or none, depending on the words. For the final hurdle, every correct answer from previous hurdles is shown, with correct and misplaced letters clearly shown.

An important note is that the number of times a letter is highlighted from previous guesses does necessarily indicate the number of times that letter appears in the final hurdle.

Moon phase today: What the Moon will look like on April 21

Mashable - Tue, 04/21/2026 - 00:00

As we hit day four of the lunar cycle, the Moon is starting to appear more illuminated. Keep reading to find out what you can spot tonight.

What is today’s Moon phase?

As of Tuesday, April 21, the Moon phase is Waxing Crescent. Tonight, 20% of the moon will be lit up, according to NASA's Daily Moon Guide.

If you're looking at the Moon with just your naked eye, you should be able to catch a glimpse of the Mares Crisium and Fecunditatis. If you have either binoculars or a telescope, you'll see these as well as the Endymion Crater.

When is the next Full Moon?

The next Full Moon is predicted to take place on May 1, the first of two in May.

What are Moon phases?

NASA says that the Moon completes a full orbit around Earth in about 29.5 days, during which it passes through eight stages. Although the same face of the Moon is always turned toward us, the portion illuminated by the Sun shifts as it travels along its path, producing the familiar cycle of full, half, and crescent shapes. These variations are referred to as lunar phases, and there are eight altogether:

New Moon - The Moon is between Earth and the sun, so the side we see is dark (in other words, it's invisible to the eye).

Waxing Crescent - A small sliver of light appears on the right side (Northern Hemisphere).

First Quarter - Half of the Moon is lit on the right side. It looks like a half-Moon.

Waxing Gibbous - More than half is lit up, but it’s not quite full yet.

Full Moon - The whole face of the Moon is illuminated and fully visible.

Waning Gibbous - The Moon starts losing light on the right side. (Northern Hemisphere)

Third Quarter (or Last Quarter) - Another half-Moon, but now the left side is lit.

Waning Crescent - A thin sliver of light remains on the left side before going dark again.
